OpenAI's AI Voice Sparks Debate Over Scarlett Johansson Likeness

TL;DR Summary
Researchers at Arizona State University found that OpenAI's discontinued GPT-4o voice, "Sky," sounds very similar to Scarlett Johansson's voice, though not identical. The analysis showed Johansson's voice was more similar to Sky than 98% of other actresses, but Anne Hathaway and Keri Russell's voices sometimes resembled Sky's more. OpenAI's CEO and CTO have denied any intention to mimic Johansson's voice, though Johansson has hired legal counsel and may take legal action.
